Movie #2042: Knife In The Water (1962, Roman Polanski)

The CD (from the library) died after 60 minutes. I had to watch the last 30 minutes in Polish. What I missed was the conversation between the man and the wife after they got back to their car. Would like to have heard that.

Day #22,070

Walk km 10,839-10,853: Watershed Park to east Queensborough

Boundary Road
approx km 10,850 boundary of Richmond and New westminster

Movie #2041: Gone With The Woman (2007, Petter Naess)

Imaginary(?) woman worms her way into a guy's life. They go through the usual ups and downs of a relationship. Then it's over. Not sure if there was anything intended here or if they just thought it would make a quirky little movie. It was OK.

Day #22,069

Walk km 10,832-10,835: to Safeway for lunch
Walk km 10,835-10,839: to Main Street Station & Chinatown

Movie #2040: Harry & Tonto (1974, Paul Mazursky)

Oldster Art Carney gets evicted from his appartment. He's mad as hell but it turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to him.
One problem with watching this one: I kept thinkin': Art Carney is too young for this role. I'll have to check IMDB.
Back from IMDB: yup, he was only 56.

Day #22,068

Walk km 10,827-10,832: to Adam's hockey game

TV series episodes #27-28: Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Case Of Mr Pelham (Hitchcock) and Guilty Witness (Stevens).

Hitchcock's contribution ain't bad but Robert Steven's "Guilty Witness" is probably the best episode so far. Everyone in the apartment block can hear Mr & Mrs Verber fighting. But one day, everything is silent. Mr Verber has gone to visit his mother? Really?

Book #418: In The City (2009, Paul du Noyer)

Rundown of the music of London in chronological order. Paul keeps it pretty much a non-critical read with just background info on each artist/trend that emerges. Would have been more interesting if there would have been some opinions expressed.  

TV episode #26: Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Long Shot (1955, Robert Stevenson)
Not too bad. Kind of suspected what the suprise ending would be however.
